Is "stock" truly stock making it truly invisible or is it like REVO with stock programing

From my months of research on this exact topic, nothing will be invisible. But on the other hand a dealer will have to really do a detailed "search" to find out you are chipped. I could be wrong but this is the understanding and explanation I got from the shop. Its not like when they hook up the VAG diagnostics it will light up on neon bold print letters "I'M CHIPPED!"

I look at it this way - I don't run the **** outta my car so I don't foresee any engine problems. If my power windows or something like that breaks and the dealer ends up for some reason finding out I am chipped, they still have to fix my window b/c the chip has nothing to do with my window.

Is REVO completely invisable? Does it reset the flash counter also?

There's a counter that shows how many times the ECU has been flashed.

Default Whoa, wait a second

are you sure that dealer will still fix all problems not related to chip? I heard your entire manu as well as extended (which I have) are voided.
